Because the chemicals in diet coke react with the chemicals in the mentos, Normal coke has the same chemicals that mentos has, that is why you need to have a positive and negative to react, Normal coke and mentos is positive and positive.
You get a 2 litres of coke (Diet Coke works the best) and leave the cap off in an large, open area and put three~four of mentos (mint ones are better than fruit flavoured ones) in and then it will make a coke geyser.
you can make a gernade make a rocket with film cansters anddo a science project about it and with diet coke and mentos
see how long u can open your eyes for then record your results or classic diet coke and mentos or dry ice in a swimming pool
caffeine, potassium benzoate, aspartame, and CO2 gas contained in the Diet Coke, in combination with the gelatin and gum Arabic ingredients of the Mentos, all contribute to the jet effect
Only Diet Coke and Mentos will make an explosion, Not Diet Pepsi, Coke Classic, or any other soda will produce an explosion of the same magnitude. that is not true diet root beer (A&W) also works
It's simple. Just take a 2-liter of coke (Diet Coke works better) and stick as many mentos in it as you want. (one will still work)
Yes, Vernors ginger soda can cause a reaction similar to that of Mentos and Diet Coke when Mentos are dropped into it. The carbonation in Vernors creates a rapid release of gas when the porous surface of Mentos interacts with the liquid, leading to an explosive eruption of foam. However, the reaction may not be as dramatic as that seen with Diet Coke due to differences in sugar content and carbonation levels. Always exercise caution if attempting this experiment!
put the mentos in when you want it to fizz....or you can try tape. put the mentos on the tape the stick it to the edge of the opening then throw it and itll fizz. make sure the mentos dosnt touch the coke before you throw it.
I think use coke not diet and mentos
to make an volcano explode you have to put diet coke into the bottle the put some red food colouring in the diet coke so it looks like lava then put some mentos in the diet coke then sit back and watch.
You need at least 1. And, it depends what kind of pop you are using. Diet coke produces the best results because it has the most Carbon Dioxide gas in it, and that means that the rough surface and the pores on the Mentos candies will get filled up with the Diet Coke carbon dioxide gas. Right after Diet Coke comes Pepsi, and on and on.
